Dear Wikipedia: You Rock

So…

Today I was messing around on Wikipedia, as usual, and I ended up on the “list of extinct species” page. I scrolled down and eventually landed on the “Stag-moose,” an extinct deer (apparently) that lived in North America. Aaron remarked that “Stag Moose” would be a good porno name, and I agreed after I read the sentence, “The first evidence of the stag-moose found in modern times was discovered at Big Bone Lick, Kentucky.” So, of course, I then had to click on “Big Bone Lick,” which took me to a page that opened with, “Big Bone Lick State Park is located at Big Bone in Boone County, Kentucky. It is located on Beaver Road and between the communities of Beaverlick and Rabbit Hash.”

After that, it all went downhill.

“It is bounded on the south by Big Bone Creek, which empties into the river at Big Bone Landing. The northern extent is along Hathaway Road, and the eastern portion extends not further than U.S. 42, and is approached from that direction by Beaver Road coming from Richwood.”

“The area was named after the extraordinarily large bones.”

“Even the first maps noted it as “the place the big bones are found.”

And now we must all take a road trip to this place of enormous bones.
